“Soli is amazing! Such a wonderful, kind, and professional catsitter. Especially appreciate her persistence and patience in resolving a house access issue due to a miscommunication that was squarely on our end. Would recommend Soli to any cat parents without reservation and will likely book her again if we need to use Rover!”
“Svetlana took excellent care of my cat while I was away for four days. My cat is quite timid and tends to hide from strangers, but Svetlana didn’t rush him or force interaction. She was patient, loving, and sent great updates that made me feel at ease. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Emily was great with our cats. We have a cat that can be a little shy with new sitters and she handled him great. She was very communicative and would def book again!”
“Arianna was truly remarkable. She kept us informed on a daily basis with photos and made us feel at ease. We knew our three cats Miss Cleo, Gracie and Hedy were in good hands. Her love for our cats really made us so happy and for this we are truly grateful. Arianna is a treasure.”
“Lindsey went ABOVE AND BEYOND when she watched our two kitties. She made sure to keep us in the loop with how they were, how much they were eating, and followed all directions to a tee. She is extremely personable, and it is obvious she cares not only about ensuring the pets are comfortable and taken care of but she strives to make sure the owners are comfortable as well. We definitely recommend her and will be booking again for our next trip!”
“Katie is so sweet and got back to me right away. She came for an initial visit to meet my cats, and it was very easy to communicate with her! She is reliable and I felt so happy to know that my cats were in good hands while I was out of town 🐈🐈⬛”
“Cora took such great care of Newbury while I was away. I got pictures and updates after every one of their walks and Newbury had such a great time with her ?”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m very attentive, patient, and caring, and I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care when needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and do my best to accommodate different times throughout the week. I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll pay attention to feeding instructions, water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications if needed, and any special notes
“We're so happy to have connected with Emily not only because the cat likes her and does well spending time with her, but she's such a pleasure to work with--responsive, reliable and very conscientious, kitty-focused and attentive to detail. We found a great fit!”
“We’ve used Liz for our 7 month old puppy for about a month now and she’s been absolutely amazing! Liz has been incredibly flexible with our schedule, even doing a last-minute meet and greet before getting started and accommodating last-minute requests when our schedule changes. She takes such great care of our puppy and always sends thoughtful updates about how his day went, which we really appreciate. Our puppy Bogey absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every visit! It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. We highly recommend her!! Thanks for all that you do Liz!!”
“Amanda took excellent care of our two cats! She communicated and provided updates. We had an issue with our key copy and she was very patient and flexible while we got it resolved. I really recommend Amanda!”
“Was able to come a check in on my baby last minute before the storm! I got stuck out of the country and was not going to be home when I thought and she made sure he was okay. Thank you so much. A life saver!”
“annaliese did an excellent job taking care of our sweet but shy cat, she quickly gained his trust which is not always easy to do. she always responded to my messages quickly. we will definitely hire her again 😻”
“Erin was great!! My cat can be temperamental and easily overstimulated, he seemed to do really great with her. She went above and beyond of what was asked of her. I got lots of pictures every day of what the two of them were doing. It was nice to come home to his automatic feeder being full, and his litter tray from his automatic litter box emptied. She was very friendly when meeting her, I would absolutely trust her again and rebook in the future. :)”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - East Boston
Haowen and his girlfriend Yi were wonderful, caring, and very responsible sitters for our cat Yokii. My husband and I were quite anxious at first because this was our first time being away for such a long trip, and we were worried that our cat might have trouble adjusting or feel stressed. However, Haowen and Yi took such great care of him and gave us so much peace of mind. They always checked in on time, followed all of our instructions carefully, and helped our cat maintain his daily routine as much as possible while we were away. They were also very responsive and easy to communicate with whenever anything came up, which we really appreciated! On top of that, they took so many adorable photos and videos of our cat during each visit, which made us feel much more connected to him during our trip. Overall, we are extremely happy that our cat was so well cared for and that he got along so well with both of them. We (and Yokii) would absolutely feel comfortable and confident asking Haowen and Yi to take care of Yokii again the next time we travel. Big thanks again for everything!!
Jenna did an AMAZING job taking care of my girl Ivy! She was so attentive to her needs, followed instructions clearly, communicated with me quickly and efficiently, and made sure Ivy was her sole focus of attention, playing with her using her favorite toys and giving her lots of love!! You can tell Jenna is passionate about what she does and the pets she cares for! I will definitely be reaching back out to her in the future and highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your fur babies!🙌💓🐾
She was very caring, attentive, and took great care of my cat while I was away. She spent quality time playing with him instead of just stopping by to refill food, and it was obvious that she genuinely enjoys being around cats. She also kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Karina was so great with Piper! I felt comfortable leaving her over a tricky 4th of July weekend and knew that my cat would be in great care with her. During the meet and greet, she asked great questions to make sure she was fully prepared in case of any emergency, and she was very easy to communicate with! We will definitely use Karina again!
Rita was absolutely wonderful with Clover! She was incredibly reliable and communicative, sent thoughtful updates and plenty of photos, and clearly spent genuine time giving Clover lots of attention and snuggles. I felt completely at ease knowing Clover was in such caring hands while I was away. I would absolutely book Rita again and highly recommend her!
Adam did such an amazing job taking care of our two cats for a long weekend. He arrived early to every visit to make sure the cats were fed on time. He kept me in the loop during each visit and sent many photos. He went above and beyond and emptied their litter boxes more than we asked so the cats felt comfortable. One of our cats threw up and Adam cleaned everything up and kept an eye on him to make sure he was okay! I trusted Adam during the whole process and will definitely be reaching out to him again. I highly recommend him!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Boston on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,766 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across East Boston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in East Boston. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
